PK85542: Documentation needs to be improved for the preference setting 'D o not overwrite loadable Java classes'

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.5.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The documentation chapter below:
  ------------------------------
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v7r5/index.jsp?
  topic=/com.ibm.webservice.wsfp.doc/topics/rwebspherepref.html
  ------------------------------
  Do not overwrite loadable Java classes: when selected, the Web s
  ervice wizards will not write any Java classes to the target pro
  ject that both:
  
  do not already exist in the project
  do exist in a project, module or JAR file that will be loadable
  from the target project when the application is running on the s
  erver.
  
  If this option is not selected, the wizards may write Java class
  es to the target project that will mask preexisting classes with
   the same name in other projects, modules or JAR files. This can
   result in runtime environment and compilation errors.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ------
  
  should be changed to state that the above applies only to the We
  bServices Client wizard, and not to the Java bean Skeleton or EJ
  B Skeleton wizards.

  overwrite loadable Java classes" preference only applies to
